Many Thanks, Jean Luc.

alors and alas, perhaps i'm misreading your text, but i'm apparently not a
sophisticated enough navigator of Arcane French Gubberment websites (which all
appear to be Designed by Geniuses and Executed by Morons) to be able to find
where i can actually *download* the "rétroconversion (numérisation
océrisée) de la collection." 


meanwhile, Stanford has a list of the town libraries in the various volumes
here:

http://library.stanford.edu/depts/ssrg/medieval/deptmss.htm

and 19 (of the 116) volumes available in .pdf format here:

http://standish.stanford.edu/bin/search/advanced/process?sort=title&browse=1&clauseMapped%28titleBrowse%29=Catalogue+ge%CC%81ne%CC%81ral+des+manuscrits+des+bibliothe%CC%80ques+publiques+de+France.++De%CC%81partements+...

[Nota Bennies: there is at least one cataloging mistake among those --the
downloadable file not matching the volume number given]

note that these PDFs are in (what i call) the "new" PDF format --very clean
scans which are fully searchable/pasteable --i.e., OCRed PDF.

but, there are only 19 of them (so far).


following one of the many helpful links on your site to the CALAMES database,
i came across this interesting entry

Manuscrits de la Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève

Ms 881

Plan d'une « Histoire ecclesiastique et civile de la ville et du dioceze de
Chartres »

autographes.

Le ms. a été rédigé entre 1719 et 1740 grâce à la mention, au fol. 9 vo,
d'Antoine Lancelot, « de l'Academie des Belles-Lettres et Inscriptions ».

Cote : Ms 881
Description physique : Papier. 9 feuillets. 350 × 227 mm.
Date : XVIIIe siècle
Langue : français
Ancienne cote : Suppl. L. f. in-fol. 195
Ancienne cote : L. 9.
Sujet :  Lancelot (Antoine), de l'Académie des inscriptions 
 Chartres (Diocèse) - Histoire ecclesiastique et civile 
 Chartres - Histoire ecclesiastique et civile 


the Academician Antoine Lancelot was a major antiquaire of the early 18th c.,
with some interest in the Chartrain region that i already knew of --he was
responsible for the fine engravings of the lost sculptures once on the facade
of the collegial church of Ste Mary Magdalene in Chateaudun.

i don't suppose anyone knows anything about this little Project for a history
of Chartres??
